Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

by

Robots are now utilized in every field of research thanks to technological breakthroughs; they have even found their way into dentistry due to the capacity for precision work without being fatigued. Hamilton dentist Dr. Moninder Tuli, chatted with us and provided us with information about the usage of robotics in dentistry.

The use of robots in dentistry is quite astounding. It can be debated that one of the most astonishing creations of modern civilization is the robot, a tool that can imitate living things. Robots shorten the time it takes to perform a task, increase production, and decrease human error.

Robotics is a revolutionary technology that will alter dental medicine’s diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Robots can do repetitive tasks for an endless amount of time while improving the overall level and scope of medical care.

The most recent medical robots can conduct clinical intervention or remote patient monitoring independently since robotic systems have evolved dramatically over the previous ten years. [Read more…] about Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

FRAI Robotic Technologies demonstrates mobile robotic work cell

by

Automation tasks are becoming ever more challenging. Using intelligent software in combination with the relevant automation solutions not only enables workpieces to be loaded and unloaded but also means that machine tools can be set up fully automatically through automatic replacement of tools and clamping devices.

FRAI Robotic Technologies, an Austrian company which specializes in building tailor-made automation solutions, is developing “highly flexible” robot systems to respond to this trend. Concepts such as the mobileCELL are a complete first and enable a wide range of expansion stages, making them as future-proof and competitive as possible.

Different industries, series production, small batch sizes, a wide variety of machine tools and the uncertainty of many manufacturers as to whether the current product will still be in vogue next year or become a slow seller – all this calls for flexibility in production.
